The match began with Pyramids FC pressing high and creating early chances. Fiston Mayele and Walid El Karti wasted opportunities in the opening stages, but the Egyptians controlled possession and dictated the pace. Power Dynamos defended resolutely, and goalkeeper Lawrence Mulenga kept his team in the game until halftime.

The breakthrough came just six minutes into the second half. Reda capitalized on a deflected pass from Mayele and fired a precise shot past Mulenga, opening his scoring account in the competition and giving Pyramids FC a crucial lead.
